VMware Fusion blog: font size?

Could I ask a quick favour? Could you, in Safari, go here please:

<feed://blogs.vmware.com/teamfusion/rss.xml>

...and let me know what font size you see? Specifically mine appears in
large font, and it's the only RSS feed which does so. I know I put it
in a larger font when I bookmarked it, but I can't see how that could
have made it through to anything and I've tried deleting/recreating the
bookmark.

What do others see - normal font size for an RSS feed or large?

Cheers,
Ian

Option 3 - the font's slightly smaller than the ones used by my other feeds :-)

Cheers,

Chris

Now I'm utterly confused then. I see this:
<http://eruvia.org/imagedump/Team_Fusion-20080518-231903.png>

I see this even after deleting the bookmark, quitting Safari, opening
again and re-adding from scratch. Don't know what to do about it now.

Cheers,
Ian

It looks as though they stopped using their own CSS for entries after 6
May so the font size for the feed and the article is no longer 12pt but
that of your default font size.

I'd left mine at 16pt without any problems until coming across that
feed. I've now reduced the default by a bit for the moment.

I'm not nearly as think as you confused I am.

Bingo - that's it. Had never even considered that setting before.

Must be that no other web site uses it these days - I've never seen it
on any other site or RSS feed. In fact I'm surprised to learn that RSS
can be styled.

Ah, I was looking at the article in NNW, where I have a custom theme/CSS.

In Safari it looks broadly like your screenshot.

Ahem. Sorry for the confusion.

Cheers,

Normal size here.

Never sleep with anyone crazier than you are.

Odd - see my reply to Chris for what I see. Wonder what I can do about it then.

Cheers,

For what it's worth I see the same as you do, in vanilla Safari 3.1.1.
